The Staples 26- and 80-Year-Old Women Swear By to Look Chic

During one of my nightly scrolls through TikTok, I stumbled upon a stellar account that I followed immediately. I’m, of course, referring to @excusemygrandma. The popular account (that has an Instagram and podcast of the same name) is led by Kim Murstein and Grandma Gail, a true star in my eyes. 

Murstein is 26, and Grandma Gail is 80. As Murstein mentioned, “on all our channels, we talk about generational differences of dating, fashion, and pop culture.” On the style front, you’ll notice daily outfit inspiration from Grandma Gail and fun videos where she helps Murstein select looks for various occasions. And yes, both women have chic style. On that note, I actually asked them to share the items they wear often to create some of the standout looks we see on their channels. 

Below, you’ll uncover testimonials from both along with references from TikTok. There are also inspired shopping picks. Given that age is just a number and you should wear whatever you love regardless of the year you were born, all of the pieces coming your way could totally work for anyone. Enjoy.
